Abstract
This book is one of the latest additions to the voluminous literature exploring two of the biggest geopolitical trends in our age: the rise of China and its changing relationship with the United States. However, two features make this book unique. First is its scope: it is one of a few that specifically focus on the systemic implications to the global economic order arising from the tensions between the two largest economies in the world. Second, its author, C. Fred Bergsten, is one of the most qualified in the world to write on the topic. Bergsten not only is one of the most respected trade economists but also has significant practical experience in making US trade policy for more than half a century, serving in senior official roles in various administrations and as director of one of the most influential trade policy think tanks.
